[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 5937526, member: 51347"]Generally, I find the coins I collect have more interesting REVERSES... usually it is because of the subject matter... the Obverse is either some God/Goddess or some vain Emperor/King. LOL, however, I was attracted to this series of coins BECAUSE of its History, but also its [B]unusual feature of BLANK REVERSES on its AR coins[/B]... I enjoy that they took a different tack in minting their coins! Just interesting.
